    Completing Fallout 2 without firing a shot

    Oh and on an unrelated note, there were only a few places in the game where I got 'stuck' and had to consult walkthroughs to figure out what to do: - When I first got to Modoc, I didn't have the car, and I found out that I had to head west to look for Karl. I didn't know that he was in the...

    Completing Fallout 2 without firing a shot

    Done Well I finished Fallout 2 with purely unarmed combat recently. By 'purely unarmed' I mean that I never wielded any weapon (not even brass knuckles and certainly not a power fist) except when in the boxing ring. Also I stripped all party members of weapons (well, ammo actually, since I...

    Saving Private Dobbs

    I'll let you know soon. I suffered a hard disk crash recently and lost my Fallout 2 saves. So I had to start my game over, and I'm headed to the Army Depot now. Within a day or so I'll have a definite answer on this. I'm going to try leaving Sulik on the tile that Private Dobbs would blow...

    You think you can steal from me? <i>Me?</i> (SPO

    I swear to god I did this when I originally played Fallout 1 in 1999. I am sure that I didn't apply any patches to the game back then so maybe it was a bug that was fixed in a patched version. I distinctly remember getting the steal interface up from the Master and seeing that he had two...

    Saving Private Dobbs

    That's a great idea. I will try it. I traded Sulik up for the robot in the base anyway (I can only have one other team member at a time because my charisma is so low), so I should have just parked him on that space (or in the doorway, as someone else pointed out, Dobbs won't move if something...

    Saving Private Dobbs

    For the same reason that I play the game to begin with ... to have fun. I thought it was a fun little challenge to try to keep the guy alive. Also it would 'feel good' to know that the guy was still alive down in the base somewhere and that I had saved him - even if it was just in a suspended...

    Saving Private Dobbs

    Just for fun, and because I am that kind of guy, I tried saving Private Dobbs, the one who you can get to show up in the 4th level of the army base, from dying. It seems to me that his death is triggered by getting to the corner of the hallway outside of the room that he shows up in. So I...

    Why is Psycho so good?

    I boxed the three challengers in New Reno, and won (fairly easily) - is this what you meant? Or is there somewhere else to practice boxing and increase DT? Also, I used the punching bags in the army base ...

    Why is Psycho so good?

    So if I read correctly, with psycho the damage should be 1-2 per bullet, with 40 bullets being fired by the turret. If they all hit, that would be 40 - 80 damage. If only half hit on average, that would be 20 - 40 damage. However, I definitely see all attacks from the turret either doing 0...

    Completing Fallout 2 without firing a shot

    Thanks very much for the advice. It's my understanding that Slayer + 10 luck means 95% chance of criticals with every successful hit. Are you saying that this same thing can be accomplished with raised unarmed skill level? I have already raised my unarmed skill level to about 160, and am...

    Why is Psycho so good?

    From what I understand, the psycho drug gives your character: +50% damage resistance +3 agility -3 intelligence And yet, when I take it, I become almost completely indestructible. I've only taken it once in Fallout 2, and once in Fallout 1, both at points where I was having particular...

    Completing Fallout 2 without firing a shot

    Well I've been playing Fallout 2 for a while now using just unarmed combat and, so far so good. It started out pretty slowly; it was somewhat demoralizing getting my butt kicked by mutated rats, but eventually, after getting to level 8 or 9, things started picking up. Now at level 11 (almost...

    Can you finish the game without big guns or energy weapons?

    I beat Fallout 1 using the super sledge more than 90% of the time. I only used the blade runner pistol when I didn't feel like chasing down someone who was running away. I am currently playing Fallout 2 using NO WEAPONS at all, just unarmed attacks. After figuring out some basic strategies...

    Completing Fallout 2 without firing a shot

    Hey all. Please accept my apologies if this topic has already been discussed; I used the search feature but didn't find anything in the first page so I gave up. I have just started Fallout 2 after completing Fallout as a bruiser who used the super sledge 80% of the time and .223 pistol the...

    Replayed Fallout after many years, have a question

    Many thanks. Those really creeped me out the first time through, especially when the sliver of bone pierced my eye ... good stuff.

    Replayed Fallout after many years, have a question

    Thanks, I've read a little bit about it (including the excellent review mentioned on this site by the guy who wrote the scathing Oblivion review) and my expectations are not very high; but I intend to enjoy it for what it is, even if it just reminds me how great the originals were. Yes, I...

    Replayed Fallout after many years, have a question

    Hey all. I first discovered Fallout in the Interplay Anthology that I bought in 1999. At the time I thought it was a great deal to get a dozen or so games for $40 instead of just getting one game for the same price. The only game I was familiar with in the set was Descent, which is still one...
